I do sunken wrecks, being testing out techniques and seeing what works, here are a few pics.

The below pictures are a 5 hour scratch build diorama challenge. 5 hours total build time, had to be scratch built and only using one piece of genuine model item...in this case a small brass propeller. The model had to be built, painted and mounted-total time for my sunken mini-sub 4hrs and 47mins...and that was pushing it. The sub is made from my old inhaler parts, welded together via my soldering iron, stronger and quicker, pieces of copper wire at the back that would have held the dive planes and rudder, real prop fitted, coated and painted.

That's really very good.........and in 5 hours ???? ............. At my work rate, I'm lucky if I can get in two cups of tea, three cigarettes and the lid off a tin of paint in 5 hours :banana:

Great work Si and in less than 5 hours
It was hard work to complete in 5 hours...I only just finished it. In fact the timeline was running out and I thought stuff it...I gave it a go but just sneaked in. Glad you like it.
